ok so I've made a little light fixture with four of those display case bulbs.... their like 4ish inches long and they have a really long filament and no bulge, I used a light dimmer to give me control and I run it dim so you can see and look at the filament and it gives the room a nice soft light. it matches my nixie tube clock pretty well, except the nixie tubes are tinted red, I know the red will come off with hot water, but I would rather make the lightbulbs red. anyways does anyone know how I can tint the bulbs? it doesnt get very hot when I dont run them at full brightness, but if I do they get a little hot.
I'd like to make them about this shade
